12:45; 30 June 2025 year

Following the results of the strategic session on the development of the communications industry, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin instructed to create a database of biometric data of fraudsters in the Russian Federation. The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Roskomnadzor and the Central Bank have been appointed responsible for the task.

The departments were also instructed to develop a unified systematic approach to the mandatory use of information from telecom operators by banks. This measure should protect customers immediately when signs of fraudulent activity are detected.

The launch of the platform, where personal data, account numbers and voice recordings of intruders will be stored, is scheduled for January 2026. Mandatory labeling of calls on phone screens will also be introduced, and subscribers will be given the opportunity to opt out of promotional calls and messages.
